I think we can say goodbye to rugby league for many weeks.

yup, it looks that way.

No matter what spats/arguments/run ins we have all had, things like this put it all into perspective. My gut feeling is it's a bit o.t.t and I hope I am not proven wrong.

I would cancel the loop fixtures, and release a new fixture list based on the games you have remaining, but try to keep the Catalans and Toronto away games in place where possible. Hopefully, a couple of weeks of lock down can overcome the hump of this

Not much point when there isn't a chance of them being played soon!

They could play games behind closed doors & televise them all ?

Pretty soon I will be cancelling Sky Sports as there is no such thing EXCEPT our beloved RL.If that goes then what are we paying for ?

Maybe SKY could see the benefit & up their contract to reduce the damage done by no gate receipts. We could even recruit many more fans ?

Fully appreciate the many difficulties of Virus within squads, no doubt tournament devalued but wouldn't that be better than NO sport, and the potential longer term damage to our beloved game ?
